Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted May 7, 2014 Can anyone on Kickback recommend me a place in Edinburgh to repair/service an old Heuer Leonidas watch from the late 60's (I think) Needs a new button and a service. Took it to Watches of Switzerland and they wanted ?280 (the watch is worth about ?600) Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ritchez Posted February 3 Any other shop recommendations in Edinburgh? I've inherited an old Seiko watch, not expensive more sentimental value. It could do with a new screen, battery, polish, general service etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daktari Posted February 3 I've used this place several times for battery fitting and servicing, but I don't know what the full range of services is like. Worth a look - I always found them good for what I wanted with my Tag. https://www.bhjewellers.co.uk/Category/edinburgh-murrayfield-expert-fast-watch-repairs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
